It's never an easy job to select our favourites but we do love seeing all your stunning takes on the challenge in our gallery each week.

So here goes with our choices, in order of entry for

#13 Ann
Here Ann has used her washi tape in such an ingenious way by creating
her own buttons to embellish her cards. With the added dimension to the
white on white petals this card simply jumped from our gallery.
A perfect and elegant example of clean and simple.

#30 Birgit
Another funky and inspirational use of washi tape by Birgit who
has created this fun and slightly odd looking owl which made us love
him even more. Brilliant design and certainly gave us a giggle!

#55 Hannelie
Adding strips of vibrant washi tape to the background of the framed
little scene takes this to another level. Eye-catching fresh and still
super clean and simple with minimal die-cut elements in the foreground.

ClaudiaClaudia's elegant sympathy card is subtle and serene. The grey tones and fabulous shading create real dimension on this one layer design.

The perfect masking on Lucie's clever one layer card creates an eye catching layout. The ribbon of quirky leaves down the centre of card really stood out in our gallery!

There were some really super entries into our sketch challenge and it was fantastic to see how you all interpreted it. It's never an easy job to select our favourites but we do love seeing all your stunning takes on the challenge in our gallery each week.So here goes with our choices, in order of entry for

ClaudiaThe layering in this design is wonderful and brings a completely new feel to the sketch. The elegant dies, paisley stamping and classy purple colour scheme give the card masses of impact.

This fun and cheerful card flips our sketch and features a cute critter with beautifully shaded balloons - enough to make anyone smile! The circle of stars frame the critter and create a super focal point.

Mac MableA clever and inventive design that uses several stamps to create a very convincing look of patterned paper on the panel. The two-tone sentiment finishes this clean and neutral card to perfection.

After all the fun and excitement throughout last month with our
6th birthday celebrations the Design Team have now had chance to review
all the entries, scratch our heads, chat some more and come up with the
hugely difficult task of selecting just 4 winners.

You really are a brilliant and CAS-fabulous bunch of creative crafters
and we love seeing all your unique takes on our challenges each week so
a HUGE thank you to each of you for playing along with us!

We'd also like to thank our FANTASTIC and super GENEROUS sponsors
because without them we'd be a little stuck for prizes!

Winner - NonniA beautiful watery use of the colour wheel colours gives this card by Nonni a loose and wonderfully arty look. That has been contrasted with the crisp and clean sentiments. Loving the bling from the glitter die cut too.Week 2

Winner - WendyWendy's card just stood out in the gallery of our Alphabet challenge. Using the large 'A' adorned with ditsy flowers as part of the sentiment was a fabulous idea, and the stitched grey panel added a really stylish touch to the overall design.

Winner - TaeEunThe curved lines and brilliant focal point colouring of these lilies gives this card a warm impact. The narrow white-on-black sentiment mirrors the longer yellow lines behind the focal point and grounds the imagery. A beautiful take on our sketch.

Congratulations to all of our birthday winners and we'd like to offer each of you the opportunity to Guest Design for one of our future challenges. Please contact Sarah,by email at LIM2011@gmx.com for details of how to claim your prize andplease indicate whether you would like the opportunity to be a Guest Designer too.
